I may add few clarifications to this: Since the computers are getting delivered in New Delhi and then being sent to DFI organisations, there would be some shipping cost associated with this delivery. Since that cost is not constent it is not specified in the cost of 11500.
This cost will be indicated at the time of delivery and I can asure that it will not be high. This scheme is a learning process for us too as there are lots of gaps that need to be filled when we implement and theory into a real action of this kind. I seek your cooperation to make it a success so that we can come out with more such schemes in future also.

ALL THE SPECIFICATIONS MENTIONED IN THE WEBSITE ARE CORRECT. IN THE EMAIL SENT EARLIER IT WAS MENNTIONED THAT IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH A 3 g CONNECTION. YOU CAN GO BY THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE DESCRIPTION AS FAR AS THIS NETBOOK IS CONCERNED. you need to deposit the price of the netbook that is Rs. 11500 alongwith the application form. therefore, I am afraid you will have to visit the nearest DFI centre at the earliest with all the documents and money in hand. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Arpit Jain" <arpit....@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 9:04 AM To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Subject: Re: [AI] Great offer: Netbook at a special price > Hello sir, > > I'm interested in purchasing this wonderful netbook but have a few > doubts which I would like to clear before submitting the form. > 1.
